• 17 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also join my colleagues in adding my voice to these important disclosures. I was in Mombasa and the meeting was very The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 17 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: fruitful. There are a lot of areas that we have seen this House needs to be brought up to speed. From where I sit as the Chair of Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock, the excitement out there with regard to the Big Four Agenda is not captured in the budget-making process. view
• 17 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: This is manifested in the Estimates for the Financial Year 2019/2020. The figures and the BPS are not talking to each other. Therefore, it is high time this House began to probe this Big Four Agenda further, than what we are made to believe. The Ministry was recently called upon to align the Big Four Agenda to the budget-making process, one month after the Budget was approved. One wonders whether these public officials got to know about the Big Four Agenda just the other day. I believe they were fully aware that the Big Four Agenda existed. They were, however, ... view
• 17 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, we are reading mischief from the Executive. We must resist attempts by it to change these figures through the back door. The Executive is instructing the public officers to align the approved Budget to the Big Four Agenda and yet we had already considered that. view
• 17 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Something interesting came out while we were in Mombasa, that is, disclosure of how much money each county was getting out of the 30 per cent development budget which remains with the national Government. The distribution of the 85 per cent which usually remains with the national Government to the rest of the 47 counties was revealing. I would like to urge the Budget and Appropriations Committee and the fiscal office to also provide the distribution of the 85 per cent according to the counties. If possible, they should even further break down how much of the development budget which ... view
• 17 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: As it is, this House appears to be approving budgets without control or being guided by a certain matrix showing how certain amounts are distributed to our individual constituencies. I was particularly impressed with the top 10 and bottom 10 counties that received the national Government support. I think the Members of this House will be very keen to get the list of who receives the biggest amount in terms of the national Government projects. view
• 17 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: This is very critical because we always hear a lot of negative information about how much Mandera County, for example, is receiving from the shareable revenue. But, from the 85 per cent left with the national Government, Mandera County receives only Kshs2.1 billion and this is for a World Bank funded road which is underway. I think it will be fair for the Budget Office to supply us with the distribution of the 85 per cent resources from the national Government so that we can engage different ministries and get what is right for our counties. view
